Lee Sinnott has moved swiftly to appoint the vastly experienced John Reed to his management team, a day after taking over at Gainsborough Trinity. Reed has most recently been working at Shaw Lane, where he has spent three seasons, initially working alongside Craig Elliott prior to his move to Boston United last season, then in a similar capacity to Elliott's replacement, Paul Quinn.

Lee Sinnott has today agreed to become the manager of Gainsborough Trinity Football Club after an exciting round of interviews at the Martin & Co Arena. The new man at the helm declared: "I can't wait to get started! I'm really looking forward to it. Things came about really quickly, I met the Chairman and three board members on Monday afternoon and recieved the phone call last night."

Manager, David Frecklington and his Assistant, Terry Fleming have today been relieved of their duties with immediate effect. The Board of Directors, led by Chairman Richard Kane have moved swiftly to give the Football Club the best possible opportunity of remaining in the Vanarama National League North.

With thirteen games and 39 points up for grabs between now and the end of the season, it was felt that a change at the helm could have a similar impact to that of Craig Elliot at Boston; Tom Greaves at FC United or Chris Moyses at Alfreton, all who have hit the ground running and strung positive results together quickly. Results that look to have moved them away from danger.
